[ laughter ] i'm happier than joe biden on lime jell-o day at the home. the theme of this conference was to be america at a crossroads, and it's worth noting in 2008 we were told america was at a crossroads as well and when we elected president obama, that we had made our choice and committed to a certain road. we were told, in fact, that we were going to have a not just a new, new deal but a new 40-year progressive era. it didn't happen, if you hadn't noticed but at the time in, i remember in 20

a report to me on a monthly basis, the dates and times that each of the unit used that large recreational area. we're also developing other items that can be used -- we are also equipping a second area with a volleyball net. that is a larger area. once we complete some of our security measures that needed to be adjusted. >> if we were able to identify it funds, with the department be able to do this capital project this year or the next fiscal year? >> i do not know if we would be able to complete the project. we would always welcome the opportunity. we are already meeting the state mandated requirements for the square footage that needs to be available, but also with the time that the youth are afforded. the recreation is a program competes with many other programs in the facility that deal with and their management, substance-abuse counseling, life skills development, yoga, and with religious programming. not enough time in the day often is the case with respect to those areas. supervisor chu: i would ask the chief as you think about its, i know there was a youth commission recommendati

i think overwhelmingly, there's more that unites us than divides us. >> walker first defeated barrett in 2010 and led a successful republican effort to strip away bargaining rights for most public employees in 2011, prompting labor unions and democrats to target him for a recall. they responded aggressively. launching an unprecedented tv and ad campaign out spending barrett and his labor allies by a 3 to 1 margin on the error alone. overall, nearly as much money was spent in this one state for one election than mitt romney has spent to secure the republican presidential nomination. national republicans were quick today to use it as a rallying cry for november. >> the american people have had it with big government and high taxes and a regulatory system that knows no bounds. >> but walker himself seemed hesitant to draw national conclusions noting mitt romney trailed the president in his own state. >> he is an underdog. i think he would acknowledge he's an underdog particularly in wisconsin. >> walker benefits from the fact that wisconsin voters seemed conflicted about the recall proce

using it requires high safety standards. >> we use a very small quantity the unit. we are using only 350 to 370 size of about 150 square feet, which what this unit is meant for. so even if this entire charge leaks out into the room, it would not cause a flammable mixture with the air inside the room. >> the godrej company wants to break into a market that many other manufacturers have already cornered the competition is tough, even though the market is growing steadily. company headquarters in mumbai -- the family-owned business is over a hundred years old. anyone who wants an affordable refrigerator or washing machine buys from godrej - at least that used to be the case. but in the past few years the company has lost market share. with its "green" air conditioners it hopes to attract more customers again. for this to work, the marketing strategy has to be just right. video clips emphasize the product's climate credentials. but they're shown only in shops. in its television commercials, godrej is focusing on energy efficiency. the new air conditioner uses over 20 per

pounds, we make a gallon of fuel. >> down side is cost. $15,000 for the desktop and $275,000 for the unit usedthe clean oceans project. so the upside is make plastic trash into a usable resource. >> cheryl: that is make. and cofounders of the clean oceans project, captain jim holm and nick drobac. you drove all the way from santa cruz to be with us. this is a big deal. what do you want to do? we talked b a little bit about it in the story? >> the object of our game is to eliminate the plastic trash that is in the ocean and we are doing a number of different methods. research is very important and the educational component as we said before is absolutely essentially. where we differ ot other organizations, we're also looking to take direct action and try to physically remove the trash from the oceans and beaches. we also figured once we get it out off the beaches we need to do something. >> what are you going to do it w it then? but that is incredible thing. now a number of different ways, you are doing it using satellite imagery? >> in terms of locating it. technological challenges, talking ab

the city's financial system using a different payroll system in different collective bargaining units, using different contract in roles. bringing it into the city family in rules and procedures is probably going to be an effort that takes the full year ahead, and we will pursue a lot of time from our staff as well as the city administrator staff and bring that ahead. we are looking for to implementing an open checkbook initiative this year, which will provide the public with improved access to public and searchable information regarding the city's spending and budget information. we have some of this available on our website that lets a member of the public look up a given department contract and see how much we're spending on a certain vendor or on a given service. we are hoping to broaden that into a broader sense of searchable information that will give the public more insight into how their tax dollars are spent. we are looking forward to pushing ahead with that this coming year and developing some of the key components of that project. we have a list of other things going on everywhere

so it really was possible to live in a very small unit, but that is because of the land use conditions associated with it. my understanding is planning has determined that supervisor wiener's proposal to redefined the efficiency unit in a way that reduces the size and puts an absolute limit of two occupants -- planning said this really does not affect land use and we do not need to consider how this will affect land use. and when i think of all of the ways that living in a small unit requires you to make use of outside resources, to me, that is a land use impact. i really wish planning would take a look at it and understand what the impacts would be, not only in outside services, but also, how many families in san francisco are now living in, granted, far less than optimal conditions, as single parents with two kids -- are they now going to be restricted with where they can live, even in a large efficiency because this legislation caps it at two? what the impacts of that on social service agency in trying to provide transition housing for homeless, people trying to make it at home but

absolutely everything, my message to you today is that there are certain principles that should unite us all and one of them is the inviolability of the first amendment to the u.s. constitution. [ applause ] so what we need to do is unite against these tactics wherever we see them. for me that's meant a very long battle against efforts to constrain political speech. it may not be the most exciting issue out there and it didn't make me many friends on the left, i can tell you that, but an important freedom is at stake and having been in this fight for a long time, i can tell you this. when you've got an administration that's willing to throw core constitutional protections out the window for the sake of an election, whether it's religious freedom or the freedom to speak without fear of intimidation, we're in very dangerous territory indeed. so let me tell you this. this may not be the issue that brought you here today. this may not have been on your mind when you came here today. but it may very well be the one that keeps you from achieving your goal. especially if you're a conservative.

we have -- if we had allowed the conditional use your talking about now, we would have one- third to one-half your sro units today. you all know what conditional use is like. they're not the exception, they are the rule. people go through the process. look to other cities that did not do what we did. new york. when we started talking about this in the mid-70 had 50,000 and now have 5000. los angeles has less than a few thousand. we did the right thing in 1978 and your staff recommended the right thing up until the stakeholder meeting. i would urge you to the back to that recommendation and i would be happy to work on this question of vacant and blighted buildings. there are lots of ways we can address that that are more effective and targeted to that problem than this amendment that is being talked about. i urge you to protect these units. once they're lost, they are lost forever. thank you. president fong: thank you. >> i ask you to force the edification of the name of the attorney who drafted this legislation. i find the term affidavit -- i can sign an affidavit. what is the penalty if you lie? i find the

should there be special restrictions that that second unit must be used as a rental unit, and i do not want to have this be a precedent for the rest of the city. this is something that has bubbled my mind. with deep regret, i am making this speech. and this also has bothered me because the second unit is being expanded outside of the existing square footage which goes against the master plan, against the demolition replacement plan as written. this down the line is going to cause future lawsuits for this department. someone else is going to probably take it to the hilt. i want you to be well aware that affordable housing is being demolished, there does not look to be a fair replacement apartment, a legitimate one. the fact that there is no means of egress in the second unit in the first unit and there must be some work if there is a second means of egress applied when it finally hits. it should be under the special use of restrictions that the neighbors should have complete input and work on a solution. thank you. president fong: thank you. are there additional comments supporting the

unit. thank you. commissioner hillis: can you tell us what is the process? you said it is an onerous process to go through and legalize the unit. >> if this board chooses to correct the record, they will take permits -- commissioner hillis: i mean if you did not appeal this, and you went through -- >> they would be required to go through several processes. one would be an additional living space requiring the school district fees. they would have to meet open space and exposure elements of the planning code, which would require a variance, and the fees would be considerable. simply the preparation to legalize this unit would be considerably more than their income is over and an annual period, so -- commissioner hillis: how much is that? >> i did not, but i certainly could list some of those fees. the various application fee i believe is currently $2,100. something thereabout. plans preparation. this would be several thousand dollars. there are application fees that would be another couple thousand dollars. there are school fees treating this as if it were new

us? the united states is the greatest maritime power in the world. greatest maritime power the world has ever seen. we have the strongest navy and our economy relies heavily on our imports and exports that move by sea. as a result, we have an enormous stake in ensuring a stable and predictable set of rules for the oceans. joining the treaty helps us do this. so with that, i welcome our distinguished witnesses again. thank you for bringing your expertise to this committee at this important moment. we look forward to hearing your insights. senator lugar? >> thank you, mr. chairman. i join you in welcoming our distinguished military panel and foreign relations committee. i want to underscore for my colleagues a fundamental starting point for this hearing. the commander in chief, the joint chiefs of staff, the united states navy, the united states coast guard, and individual combatant commanders are asking the senate to give the advice and consent to the law of the sea convention. our uniformed commanders are telling us unanimously that u.s. exception to

to start, in order to do it properly, to hire a contractor within 30 days, or to vacate the unit, to not useem as rental units. because then nobody will be in a minute. we are deciding that they need to be evicted. it weighs heavily to put someone in a hazard. i also take it seriously that we are essentially ordering the landlord to at not rent this is your net to someone who is occupying it. i just want to clarify that. commissioner walker: i have sympathy for the tenant that was put in in march or april of this year while the notice of violations were active. and many others probably. at some point we have to deal with the help safety issues. i have the same complex around getting rid of units. but i have a bigger conflict with the potential for people being injured, because there is no compliance with the code. it is a hard situation. >> if she were to hire a contractor to go in and do minor investigation as to what may be back there, they might be able to give us assurances that we do not have in the hazard, but because we have never gotten to that point with this property owner understa

he spoke saying we are no longer political opponents and more unites us than divides us. >> for sounds good. if i am consulting scott walker, you go for the jugular. you have been elected twice in 18 months and you have nothing to lose. nobody will unseat you. you are talking about a national narrative. even if you don't gain anything more, now is the time to get aggressive. he is talking about not the next election, but generations. walker gets it. he gets the generational shift and a little bit at a time and you look at the big picture. the democrats need to get to the table and figure out how they combat this. you have to ask yourself the question, can democrats trust scott walker? he comes up and said you have to unite this? really? what evidence do we have that he wants to do that? i think he will be more aggressive. >> for the past is prologue. thanks to ed schultz. you can catch ed here every week night. >> gloomy proceedings. voter restrictions and a database of noncitizen voters. we will ask what's the matter with florida. next on now. whoa. right? get. out. exactly! really?!

united states of america. and i would say that most americans would look at all of us, look at members of congress and they would say, we want the united states to cut its dependence on foreign oil. they would say that they remember the days when richard nixon coined the term energy independence and when opec was formed that we thought we could get to energy independence. they would say that jimmy carter, in declaring energy independence in lull of a period of war was signaling something very important to the our future and also cognizant, especially those here today who are students of the subject that no matter how important those leaders of our country felt, that when you go through the '80s, ronald reagan, and you go through the '90s under bush and clinton, and in the early part of the last decade, not really much was done in terms of moving us forward to an energy security. somehow it started happening in 20 2005 and 2007 and the bills we past getting us to the kind of security we want in the united states of america. when you look at what was happening and what happened during that time frame, we went from
